| Gold Like Tears by Zimraphel | 13 Review(s) |

| Oh, my...this story is so...so...not horrible, but bittersweet. The gold is always given as a gift, out of love. It is never...well, often cursed gold is fought over, but this is so innocent. But poor Elrond, it has (in a way) cost him his brother, his wife and his daughter. The theme of needing to destroy a persistent bit of gold somehow fits in very well in Middle Earth! and yet seems to be freshly new and original. | |

| My God! Not often does one come across such a wonderfully written and carefully thought story. Sometimes it is only true that we can not avoid fate, this is a bittersweet reminder of that. Thank you for a most enjoyable read. Anieni | |

| This story's been facinating and so real, it somehow almost seems like a piece of lost history regarding Middle-Earth and my very favorite elf, Glorfindel. Keep at this. You're good. | |

| This is fantastic--by far and away one of the finest pieces of fiction I have ever read. Not just fanfic, but all fiction. I just don't have enough priase for this. | |

| Wow. Glorfindel... wow. This is beautiful. And ominous. And very poignant. Glorfindel... wow. There are not enough Glofindolin fics. | |

| I thought that Arwen would probably be the next owner of the gold. How sad, and yet I can't entirely mourn. The love of Aragorn was her joy as well as her doom. | |

| There is much one could read into an end such as this for the ill-starred gold bead. An end, a death, and a new begining. | |

| Poor Glorfindel knows too well the difficulty in destroying precious metals so that they cannot be found or reused again. Too bad this couldn't have gone to Orodruin. Yet, like a train wreck that one cannot help but watch, I want to see where it ends up now.... | |

| It's fascinating to see the missteps that lead to the gold's preservation. It's almost as if the metal has a malicious will to survive. | |

| Nilmandra suggested I read this story and she was right to recommend it. I love the way that the bead links all these people through three ages. It's such a pretty little thing and yet it seems linked to such tragedy and the linking deepens our sense of the personalities of Glorfindel and Elrond. Well done. | |
